I'm trying to get enrolled in a PA program. However, I'm looking forward to getting more information regarding the program eligibility. I completed my bachelor in biomedical engineering in the year 2011 with Gpa 3.41 . In addition, I have also completed my Msc in Biomedical Engineering with Gpa 3.49 in 2015 Regarding my professional background, I have around 2 years of experience working as a biomedical engineer and a year of experience working as a clinical engineer in St. Catherine hospital (2017-2018). Furthermore, I'm recently out of the military serving for 3 years(2018-2021). I do not have GRE Could you please let me know if I'm eligible to apply in this program. Also will be great if I can get some recommendation of university in my case

Hello everyone! I thought I would start a group for everyone until their is a Facebook page and all that. What campus is everyone going to?

I wanted to start a thread for all students that got into St. Croix class of 2018 so we could get to know each other a little better. Does anyone know if we have a Facebook page yet?

Hi! Wanted to create an area for accepted students of Barry University's Class of 2020, Miami campus. Will you be attending?

I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist, currently working in a large hospital laboratory, and I am very interested in becoming a PA and I would appreciate any advice given! I am a generalist, so I work in all of the labs (Hematology, Chemistry, Blood Bank, UA/Coag and some Micro) on any given day. Over the last year, I have become more and more interested in the PA profession and it looks like something that I would love to do. I am now 36 years old, so a little late to the game, but I also know it's not too late. However, I am a little worried that some of my prereq classes are a little too old. I graduated with a Biology Degree in 2004. Will schools still accept older classes or should I retake some of them? Also, as I work in the lab, I do not get any patient interaction, should I look into getting a part-time job to get patient contact experience or should my experience in the lab be enough for HCEs? I thought about getting an EMT certification and trying to get a part-time job as an ER tech. Also, finally my GPA wasn't all that great as an Undergrad. My BCP GPA is 3.04, however my Post Baccalaureate Science GPA is 3.54. I'm hoping that since I did well in a very rigorous MLS program (3.75), while also working full time, that it could offshoot my undergrad GPA. Am I correct in this assumption? So, I guess my main question is, should I get my EMT to try to gain my patient care experience or focus more on retaking prerequisite classes? Thanks for any advice that can be given!
